Great photo, Loch Lomond really stands out!

Chucking it down here again. Seems to follow the same pattern every day, beautiful crisp clear days with heavy snow at night. Suits me!

I've been walking irresponsibly quickly on the ice to and from work, I enjoy the challenge. My reactions are pretty quick so I'm not too worried, and I like overtaking people who walk as if the pavement is about to collapse.

This snow is really starting to piss me off. The novelty of it is wearing off and it's just getting too cold to do anything.

I'm turning into a grumpy old man with a very short temper

Click in the general location of your home town and it will zoom in.

Yes. I'd noticed, has been for a couple of hours now. It would be nice to go for a walk with greenfairy in it.

[rabid]

We've had snow here the last couple of days. Only a sprinkling on the mountains but it is supposed to be summer though.

[strudders]

it f*cking cold this morning!

I sent Mrs Strudders to work on the train this morning for a number of reasons:

1. The roads are treacherous still

2. She cant drive in the snow/ice and I love her very much and dint want her dieing in a fiery ball

3. She was up late and might fall asleep at the wheel.

Anyway she text me to say:

• I have missed the train when's the next one

• I have not locked the car up

• I have not got a parking ticket.

So deal we delt with the missed train.... catch the text one......

Get a cab down to the station and lock the car using *wait for it* a key......

Buy said car parking ticket from the station.

My point to all this, is I have not been out since Tuesday and was gob smacked that none of the roads where clear of ice and snow! FFS its been like 3 days and the Taxi driver was like "yeah its really really dangerous more so now than on Wednesday and thursday as its all super compact ice!"

I know the grit does not work but they could have least cleared the paths. As it was bubs helped me sort out our issues and we got back safe.... Oh and I was in my shorts which made a few people giggle.....

but I say again its f*cking cold out there, even by the seaside!

[rabid]

WOW, the ultimate for a dangly crap fan, you better start practicing for a recreation in your back yard for when she gets back, I've got some coloured lights you can borrow

[strudders]

Funnily enough I think we're OK for coloured lights.

3 days!

It's really snowing here again.

I was really liking it until a couple if days before Christmas wen I slipped and fell in the ice and broke my tailbone and bruised my spine and shoulders. Now that I'v been back at work a couple of days I've been in a ton of pain. Sitting around to much methinks. Co-codamol FTW!

I know I have said it so many times this week and have been oop north many times when its snowing that the south are a bunch of useless, southern softy bastards who could not cope with anything.

Its a damming indictment of the north south divide that we cant cope, you can and the news is virtually 0 when you have snow but is the biggest story of the year when we do.

It does make me ashamed and I do understand why people take the piss because to be frank you have every right to.

[rollergirl]

Wee bit of snow here during the night....everything looks all lovely and white again Shame there's huge piles of evil ice hiding underneath it!

[G-Stud]

Ouch!! Broke my collar bone in November which is still on the mend, makes me very nervous on the slippy stuff.

[greenfairy43]

I had a visit from the police last night over the "incident". I did drop myself in it a little bit. The copper knocked on the door and said "We would like to discuss an incident off Stockport Road" My first reaction was to say "It wasn't my fault. The stupid kid didn't get out of the way of my sled quick enough"

Anywhooo. The council want to prosecute, and the shop owner cannot produce any receipts for the stuff he has been selling. The police believe he has been driving around other districts as he had about 3 tonnes of the stuff in the back yard. (thats a couple of grit bins worth)
